In a Wheatstone Bridge, all the four arms have equal resistance r. If the resistance of the galvanometer arm is also equal to r, the equivalent resistance of the combination will be

  1. A 0.25 r
  2. B 0.5 r
  3. C r
  4. D 2 r
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) r

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The bridge is balanced as \( \frac{r}{r} = \frac{r}{r} \). The galvanometer arm can be removed for equivalent resistance calculation. Equivalent resistance of top branch: \( r + r = 2r \) Equivalent resistance of bottom branch: \( r + r = 2r \) Equivalent resistance of parallel…
